Memphis is essentially a 3rd rate JUCO college that doesn’t carry any football weight.
They are essentially DOA.Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.

If we had Memphis's money, recruiting, tradition, and fanbase, we'd be talking about all kinds of places we're headed for. Worst case scenario, they are light years closer to any final destination that we would seek.
We are right back to where we started when we joined the new league. Hold up! That's not correct. We are right back to Marshall's first year,... without Coach Marshall. And that includes conference affiliation. A nice little time travel screw job back to 2007.
Double-Douche really did a number on the Shocker program. Could be Wichita State Basketball's all-time villain.
He's kinda got that villain vibe... if the villain were fat and stupid.

Anybody visited MVCFans lately? Talk about a place that will make you feel better about the AAC.
And I said better, not good.
And to think, this all started with OU and UT leaving the B12. Any chance a couple power programs have regrets over what those two did? Pac10 would love to pull a Sarah Conner, that's for sure.

I don't want WSU to be in a West Coast conference, but if these guys start poaching the top programs from the AAC I would hope ADKS can get us in there (perhaps as a basketball-only partner to Gonzaga).
So if we can't join that Pac12 rebuild, then a combined remainder conference might not be horrible.

Yea, this could be another death blow to the AAC. Pac still needs 2 more full members by 2026? to qualify. So they are going to poach two more. I would expect that to be either some of our texas schools, or 2-4 of the top football members of our conference (Memphis, Tulane, UTSA?, and USF?) as a eastern wing. I think you'd likely see the remainders of the MWC and AAC merge which isn't horrible from a basketball standpoint. Utah State and Nevada are solid. UNLV can be good. New Mexico and Wyoming have been good at times. Travel will be alot though.
So if we can't join that Pac12 rebuild, then a combined remainder conference might not be horrible.
I'm sure the PAC-12 rebuild has a plan though, they certainly aren't going to sit at six members.

I'm curious to know what kind of media payout the PAC-12 rebuild could even offer. Feels like most of the flagship football schools in the AAC (Memphis, USF, Tulane) would prefer to be in a more eastern/central conference. However, UTSA and UNT might be willing to jump.
I'm sure the PAC-12 rebuild has a plan though, they certainly aren't going to sit at six members.
And they CAN'T sit at 6 members. I think they have to have 8 by 2026? to be recognized officially as a conference. I think they got a 2 year grace window when everyone left last year.
